Game Day 2 - Sheffield Sharks at Leeds Force

It's a sunny Sunday in September in Yorkshire and Sheffield Sharks have made the short trip up the M1 to Leeds Beckett University for the first away game of the season against Leeds Force.

The focus is for a quick return to winning ways.  Jordan Davis is still side-lined with a swollen ankle he went over on last weekend, so it's the same lineup as against Leicester Riders.

Sheffield Sharks pull away to victory over Leeds Force

Sheffield Sharks - confirmed as Yorkshire's #1 Basketball team for another year!  A scrappy encounter with Leeds Force (3 technical and plenty of ordinary fouls) saw Sheffield Sharks and Leeds Force even at 44-44 at half time with Sharks missing the high-line defence of Colin Sing who was out injured.  Sharks pulled away at the end to run out 81-70 winners which sees them edge closer to that play-off place.
